Kirkepiscatoid: An Advent song for the Whos of Whoville

An Advent song for the Whos of Whoville

Ok...as much as I dislike secular Christmas hoo-ha, I will confess to one pop culture Christmas thing I like..."How the Grinch Stole Christmas." (How can I NOT like a Christmas tale narrated by Boris Karloff????)

So it got me to thinking...what do the Whos of Whoville sing at Advent?

Why, they sing, "Fah who for-aze Emmanuel!" (with HUGE secular apologies to "O Come, O Come Emmanuel...)

Fah who for-aze, Emmanuel,
And dah who dor-aze Israel,
So long as we have hands to clasp,
The blessed day is in our grasp.

Refrain:
Fah who! For-aze!
Emmanuel
and dah who dor-aze Israel.

Oh come Who Pudding, Whoooo Roast Beast,
And be with us in this time of feast,
No need for ribbons or for tags,
The spirit comes without boxes or bags.
(Refrain)

The season's spirit and its light,
Comes to us in the dark of night,
Through it the season's blessings pour,
And makes our heart three sizes more.
(Refrain)

I've arrived here, if I remember correctly, from the Mad Priest.

I read and enjoyed your antiphons, although some of the melodies were outside my ken.

Wishing you a Blessed Christmas.
